comapnies use education credentials and experience as benchmarks for filtering out the obvious misfits. some of them are exceptions like in your case where the force was with you. However I dont think companies have time to look in restaurent kitchens and soliciting sweaty chefs for their next super sys-admin.:)

The H-1B Swindle

FYI.. the H1 B workers pay social security and medicare taxes inspite of the fact that they may never enjoy the benefits eventually. Had it not been for the huge influx of taxes from such "short haul" workers...the social security system would be in a deeper mess than it is right now.
Frankly speaking, my "local talent" (read american) co-workers are always complaining, demand lot of attention, moody, unwilling to learn new skills and are really not that much more efficient than the H1-B engineer who is either an eager graduate student willing to do the hard work.. or a seasoned veteran who will eventually head back home. It just makes more business sense to get such folk in the long run.
